Multitasking budget primer behind Holly Willoughby's glow is on sale
We don't know about you, but we love watching people apply their make-up and are often curious about the contents of other people's beauty cupboards.
So, for like-minded people on board our beauty curiosity boat, we have an insight into Holly Willoughby's beauty kit.
According to the former This Morning presenter's makeup artist, Patsy O'Neill, a £11 primer from Super Facialist is behind the star's TV glow.
Used before applying make-up, it provides an even canvas to apply products, and helps make-up looks last longer.
And we're rushing out to buy 10 of them right now.
Formulated with colour-correcting pigments to even the skin tone and texture, as well as hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, niacinamide for a clear complexion and cica to soothe and calm inflamed skin. This primer works to colour correct, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin. It is a cruelty free and vegan formula, which is available in two shades: fair/light and medium/dark. BUY NOW FOR £11.33 (WAS £17)
It's not surprising the primer is a hit, considering it has multiple functions: it doubles up as a base, colour corrector, nourishing moisturiser and soothing skin barrier repair cream.
The vegan and cruelty-free formula contains colour-correcting pigments to blur any imperfections and create an even base for products to be applied on top of.
The cream is also infused with skin-loving ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin, niacinamide to reduce any excess oiliness and combat any blemishes, while cica has soothing properties to reduce any redness, breakouts and inflammation.
This primer is available in two shades, including fair/light and medium/dark. More Trending
Unsure which to pick? Super Facialist has detailed the best option for your skin type, and the method behind the madness – aka the colourful bottle.
The fair/light product contains purple, green and peach formula inside, which may be off-putting for some. However, the colours blend beautifully on fair skin tones to colour correct. The green colour corrector combats any redness, purple counteracts any sallowness and hollows particularly the dark under eye area, while the peach tones brightens your complexion.
The medium/dark option contains coffee, caramel and orange tones, which work to neutralise any redness, minimise the appearance of dark spots and circles as well as brighten the complexion.
While you can layer it on after cleansing your skin and before applying your usual foundation, bronzer and blusher, you can also wear it on its own as a skin tint.

AFL WAG Kellie Finlayson shares hack for people suffering cancer that cannot get insurance - as she continues to battle the illness
Kellie Finlayson has shared a useful hack for people facing drastic health issues. The AFL WAG, 29, said cancer sufferers should get insurance for 'everything' since no provider will sign a client with an existing health issue. Kellie, who has won admiration from followers for her upbeat outlook while facing a terminal diagnosis for bowel cancer, included a photo of herself in the post smiling hopefully. The mother-of-one made her comments during an Instagram question and answer in which a follower asked about health coverage. 'Travelling with stage 4 cancer and not being able to get insurance. How to work through?' the follower asked. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Get insurance for everything else, no one will ever cover for an existing illness/injury, cancer is just one of them!' Kellie replied. Typically, the social media favourite shared a positive spin, adding, 'You can either live with cancer at home or on holiday,' she said. It comes after Kellie recently revealed the emotional challenges of dealing with her diagnosis in a candid new interview. Kellie, who is married to Port Adelaide star Jeremy Finlayson, is battling stage four bowel and lung cancer and has undergone thoracic surgery in recent months. She was first diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and revealed in 2022 that the illness had spread to her lungs. Appearing on the Jess Rowe Big Talk Show podcast's Safe Space series earlier this month, Kellie, who was promoting her new memoir There Must Be More, said that she was 'thriving' in the wake of her diagnosis. When Jess asked Kellie what she meant by 'thriving', she said it was all about changing her frame of mind. 'It completely comes from mindset,' she said. 'I feel like I still live each day the same as I used to, if not with more life, if that makes sense,' she said. 'I turned a really s***ty situation into a pretty incredible one and a really powerful one with a lot of purpose.' Kellie added that one of the challenges of battling cancer could be how the diagnosis robs the sufferer of agency. 'We don't get many choices when we're diagnosed. We get: Start this treatment or die, essentially. They're your options - get really, really sick from this treatment, or don't be here anymore,' she said. Kellie added that one choice still in front of her was how she chose to fight the disease emotionally. 'The only choice I guess I did have was how I responded to that and how I almost copped it on the chin – like an insult,' she said. '[I] got on with life and did the things I could do to make each day okay, initially, and now great.' Jess then asked Kellie if she had ever experienced "why me?" moments, with the WAG replying that it all comes down to mindset. In March, Kellie revealed she had undergone a VATS procedure to remove a piece of tissue from her lungs. VATS stands for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, which is a form of keyhole surgery. She revealed that doctors had removed metastatic tissue from her lungs. Metastatic tissue occurs when cancer cells spread from a primary tumour to other areas in the body to form new tumours. Kellie and Jeremy tied the knot in March 2023, in an intimate ceremony at South Australia's Tennyson Beach. They share daughter Sophia, three, who was born in 2021, just months before Kellie was first diagnosed.

Inside Superdrug's brand new beauty playground in Glasgow – even Gen Alpha will love £2.50 buys
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIGH street store Superdrug has launched a brand new concept in Glasgow - and skincare fans are going to love it. The cosmetic powerhouse has introduced a Beauty Playground to its Braehead store. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 New and viral brands are now in store 4 Superdrug bosses hope people will love seeing all the lines in person 4 There's a play table to test all the products Launched first in London's Westfield Stratford store earlier this month, it brings some of the most sought-after, viral and exciting up-and-coming brands that have previously only been available online, into the shop. And it means customers can smell, try and fall in love with some amazing lines, such as Dhelicious and Mallows Beauty. Even Gen Alpha beauty fans can pick up a bargain, with the Daise range starting from £2.50 for a pretty flower lip balm. As well as exploring must-have brands, shoppers will also be able to access beauty services, receive expert advice and create content while they shop. We spoke to Simon Comins, Superdrug's Chief Operating Officer, at last night's launch in the Glasgow store. He said there will be more testers in Beauty Playground than anywhere else, so customers can really play with the products. And he added: " The whole idea of Beauty Playground is that we're trying to create, in this aisle, a combination of new brands and brands that we have in the store that are cosmetics and that skincare customers buy, but if they don't go down the oral care aisle, they might not find, like High Smile. "So we have High Smile in here, Starface, we put a serum stand in. It's just to bring that whole beauty immersion together." One of the most fun new additions to the store is the 'Try Me Table' where customers can play, test and experiment with the latest products. And they have included social stations, complete with ring lights and smartphone attachments, for the creation of high-quality beauty content. Make-up fans race to snap up £5 Superdrug dupe of viral Huda powder, and save themselves £30 in the process Simon said: "We have a 40 per cent market share on make-up. The amount of people that come in, sit down and understand the product. They want to test the foundation. They want to test their lipstick shade. And we've never had a facility like it. "We've opened one up in the Stratford store and it's one of the busiest areas because people are just engaging so much with it." To launch Beauty Playground, Superdrug is partnering with a string of innovative new and exclusive brands, including the Korean inspired and TikTok famous Smuuti. Simon said: 'The beauty shopper is crying out for immersive beauty experiences, but often they find that what they encounter is either temporary or not keeping pace with the latest innovations the industry has to offer. "With Beauty Playground, we're reimagining what a joyful and innovative beauty experience could and should be, whilst offering a space where customers can discover, learn, experiment, create, and connect with brands and services that meet their unique needs. "But most of all, at Superdrug we believe beauty should be fun, so we can't wait to welcome customers to their nearest Beauty Playground store, where they can experience and enjoy Superdrug like never before.'
